Their 31 relevance for environmental and human health calls for a better understanding as parasite 32 macroevolution remains mostly understudied. Yet limited molecular, phenotypic, and 33 ecological data have so far discouraged complex analyses of evolutionary mechanisms and 34 encouraged the use of data discretisation and body-size correction. In this case study, we aim 35 to highlight the limitations of these methods and propose new methods optimised for small 36 datasets. We apply multivariate phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) and statistical 37 classification using support vector machines (SVMs) to a data-deficient host-parasite system. 38 We use continuous morphometric and host range data currently widely inferred from a 39 species-rich lineage of parasites (Cichlidogyrus incl. Scutogyrus - Platyhelminthes: 40 Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) infecting cichlid fishes. For PCMs, we modelled the attachment 41 organ and host range evolution using the data of 135 species and an updated multi-marker 42 (28S and 18S rDNA, ITS1, COI mtDNA) phylogenetic reconstruction of 58/137 described 43 species. Through a cluster analysis, SVM-based classification, and taxonomic literature 44 survey, we infered the systematic informativeness of discretised and continuous characters. 45 We demonstrate that an update to character coding and size-correction techniques is required 46 as some techniques mask phylogenetic signals but remain useful for characterising species bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.22.435939; this version posted March 22, 2021.

EVOLUTION OF A SPECIES-RICH LINEAGE OF PARASITES 47 groups of Cichlidogyrus. Regarding the attachment organ evolution, PCMs suggest a pattern 48 associated with genetic drift. Yet host and environmental parameters might put this structure 49 under stabilising selection as indicated by a limited morphological variation. This 50 contradiction, the absence of a phylogenetic signal and multicollinearity in most 51 measurements, a moderate 73% accordance rate of taxonomic approach and SVMs, and a low 52 phylogenetic informativeness of reproductive organ data suggest an overall limited 53 systematic value of the measurements included in most species characterisations. We 54 conclude that PCMs and SVM-based approaches are suitable tools to investigate the character 55 evolution of data-deficient taxa. 56 KEY WORDS 57 Cichlidogyrus; co-divergence; Dactylogyridae; host switching; Monogenea; phylogenetic 58 signal, Scutogyrus; support vector machines. 59 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 60 We thank J.-F.

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

München, 21.09.2020 Charalampos Kevrekidis 3 Abstract Fishes are important components of aquatic faunas, but our knowledge on the fossil record of some taxa, relative to their present diversity, remains poor. This can be due to a rarity of such fossils, as is the case for the family Cichlidae (cichlids). Another impediment is the rarity of well-preserved skeletons of fossil fishes.

Zoosystema 39 (4): 501-598. https://doi.org/10.5252/z2017n4a5 ABSTRACT 313 nominal species of monogenean parasites of aquatic vertebrates occurring in Mexico are included in this checklist; in addition, records of 54 undetermined taxa are also listed. All the monogeneans registered are associated with 363 vertebrate host taxa, and distributed in 498 localities pertaining to 29 of the 32 states of the Mexican Republic. The checklist contains updated information on their hosts, habitat, and distributional records. We revise the species list according to current schemes of KEY WORDS classification for the group. The checklist also included the published records in the last 11 years, Platyhelminthes, Mexico, since the latest list was made in 2006. We also included taxon mentioned in thesis and informal distribution, literature. As a result of our review, numerous records presented in the list published in 2006 were Actinopterygii, modified since inaccuracies and incomplete data were identified. Even though the inventory of the Elasmobranchii, Anura, monogenean fauna occurring in Mexican vertebrates is far from complete, the data contained in our Testudines.
